Good explanation but I'm too long in the tooth to change my methods now I think

So why bloody argue with me then! 🙈🤣🤣

I am confused as to what you guys are talking about - I have my grinder in a verticle position, open blade surface facing away from me and cut in the direction of the blade rotation. I see the mark line to my right and all the dust goes away to my left. My blade guard is set across the grinder body at 90°
Photos or it didn’t happen haha 😂

Sounds like an episode of ‘Soap’ haha

Wasn't arguing, just didn't realise there was so many different ways of using a grinder

@Dan how come if you try and post with full stops it says they are forbidden?

Say whaaaaaat?

It's the 5-word rule, they were being used as words. But it's clearly blocking all full stops lol

I usually put a couple of full stops at the end of my posts..

I use my grinders right handed with the blade facing me but I pull towards me.
Can we see some pics please of the different ways we're cutting because I'm totally confused now?!
Are you saying you undercut with your blade then Mark?
Your bade rotates anti-clockwise with it on left side of grinder as you use it, but pull toward you?
So that your blade leading edge is actually the back of the blade?
Pics tomorrow
